Retaining the original 39 mm dimensions and powered by an automatic AP Caliber 2121 movement found in the original ref. 5402ST, this 2007 release differs from its original inspiration as it can be admired through the sapphire caseback. The 15202ST is clearly a homage to its predecessor while enhancing and modernizing the style and design with contemporary craftsmanship, quality, and meticulous attention to detail. Featuring the signature Petite Tapisserie dial and integrated bracelet, the 15202ST serves as a modern counterpart to the legendary ref. 5402ST. This example underscores the timeless appeal of the Royal Oak; its near-identical recreation highlights Audemars Piguet’s confidence in the enduring relevance of the original design. Although now succeeded by the ref. 16202ST, which introduces several updates, the 15202ST remains the closest you can get to experiencing the original Royal Oak’s legacy with modern-day refinements. Offered with its box, papers, booklets, and hang tag, lot 352 is a prime example of 15202 Royal Oak.
